From the review it seems to be an interesting book to read. The people who are fond of mystery and the like to know the way of solving the mystery will find this book very interesting. I am also a fan of mystery solving ideas and enjoy lot more in the movies and TV series. By reading this book it may help in visualising the scenario comprising how murder has happened and who is the murderer. Eagerly waiting for the getting details by reading this book.

Charlie pairing up with the landman, George, to discover the murder mystery is a perfect example of team work which is my favourite thing. Great Job

It's great to hear that the mystery element in this book was executed well. I thoroughly enjoy suspenseful stories and it's crucial that they keep readers engaged. Although I'm not entirely sure if the technical aspects of oil drilling are of interest to me, I might give this book a shot.

The review was great, you did introduce the book in an intriguing way. I love a novel that has a strong female lead and the addition of a murder mystery plot twist in an unconventional setting is such a wonderful idea, you can tell how detail-oriented the author is.

Congrats on BOTD!
A murder mystery book with lots of tension and thrills, Derrick of Death seems really intriguing. An additional feature to keep readers interested is Charlie teaching a new employee the technical details of drilling. The official OBC review was nicely written and provided a fascinating summary of the book.

It's a crime-thriller book that will leave one with lots of goosebumps and room for guessing. Also, the educational overview on oil matters is overwhelming.

The attention to water down the more technical aspects of the story was really commendable. This way, the mystery aspects of the novel gets a chance to develop. Congrats on BOTD!

The review of "Derrick of Death" by Malvina Lerma sounds fascinating, which praises expertly executed murder mystery and the integration of technical details about oil well drilling without making it too overwhelming for the reader. The strong female lead and the engaging storyline seem to make it an enjoyable read, especially for murder mystery lover or those interested in the oil industry. It's great to hear that the book was professionally edited and maintained a high quality. This review definitely makes me curious about the book!

The strong female lead character appears to advocate for women's empowerment. Fans of whodunit thrillers will appreciate the red herrings.
